Chapter 10

12 years ago

I was bouncing on James' bed waking him up from his slumber.

"JAMIE! JAMIE! WAKE UP!"

James groaned loudly pulling his pillow over his head. "JADE GET OFF ME!"

"It's September 1!"

"Yes I know but it doesn't mean I apreaciate being woken up at four in the morning!"he said turning his head to the clock. "What are you doing awake?"

"I can't sleep." I said sheepishly. "I'm too excited."

James signed and flipped his blanket open. "Come on."

I lay beside him in his really big bed. I always liked my brother's room. It practically has his name all over the walls. It felt like you were outside in a Quidditch pitch. On one side of the room, large goal posts were standing proud with bludgers flying around the room. Brooms were soaring through the walls passing around a Quaffle. Near the ends of the brooms were ribbons. It shows which team they were in. There were two ribbons. Blue, which was James' favorite colour. Then purple, which was mine.

He threw the covers over me and lay back down. "Go to sleep."

"But I…"

"Just try." He said. Wrapping an arm around me. "Good Night Jade"

"Good Night"

~(O-O~)

The next morning I wasn't the first one up…this time it was James bouncing on the bed.

"Come on! Wake up sleepy head."

"Five more minutes" I groaned then turned to my side.

"Suit yourself. We're going to leave you here. You can always start next year."

"What?" I exclaimed jumping up. I saw James sprawled on the floor laughing then I turned to the clock. It was only seven in the morning. The train doesn't leave till 11.

"Haha very funny James" I threw the pillow at him. "I'm going to go to my room now."

"Aww. No thank you to your favorite brother?"

"You're my only brother James." I pointed out. "Besides it's not like you have any other sister either."

"I hate it when you use that on me. The whole. "I'm your only sister" and all that" he had said that one part in a very high pitched voice. Trying to imitate mine.

"First. I don't sound like that and second…" I thought for a moment. "Never mind I don't have a second."

"HA!" James exclaimed in success. "For the first time ever I, James Charlus Potter, had beaten you!"

"Yet I beat you in a lot of other stuff" I said from the doorway. "Yet I am younger"

"Yeah for like three minutes"

"Younger none the less" I said then headed to my room.

(~O-O)~

"We'll miss you two" dad said engulfing me in a hug. "It's going to be so quiet without you and James arguing within the walls everyday. You have everything you need. Money for the trolley. Your wand. Your "James free day" Coupons."

"Yes, yes and yes" I said counting it off my fingers. "Stop worrying, dad. I'm a big girl. and besides if anything goes wrong I have James."

"That's what I'm afraid of."

"Don't worry." I said reassuringly "We'll be back by Christmas."

"Love you, sweetheart."

"Love you too, dad"

Next my mum went fussy on me while dad started to lecture James halfheartedly. Probably mum's doing.

Mum just grabbed me in a hug. "I love you, sweetheart. Don't forget to write. Don't let your brother push you around. and have fun."

"I will mom." The train's engine started to screech loudly. James and I jumped into the train then waved goodbye to our parents. Our voices lost in the wind but I was pretty sure they had heard it.

I turned to James. And we had the same thought running through our mind. Hanging around each other twenty four seven is getting annoying.

"So…"

I rolled my eyes. "Getting illiterate? As much as I love you I really want to find a new friend."

"Alright then." He said "Shoo."

I blinked. "What?"

"Shoo, skedaddle. Look for a compartment. And I'll do the same. See you in Gryffindor." He said then went running off the other direction.

I shook my head and smirked. Ahh James, I can't live with him. Can't live without him.

I managed to find a compartment with only one girl. She had silver blonde hair and lay down on one of the seats of the compartment looking out the window.

"Hello" I said with a smile. "Mind if I join you?"

"No, go ahead" she said

"I'm Jadelyn. Jadelyn Potter."

"Desiree Malfoy."

"Any relation to Abraxas Malfoy?" I asked

"Yes" Desiree said suddenly composing herself like a pureblood. "He is my father."

"Okay." I said "What do you want to talk about?"

She looked at me as if I had grown two heads.

"What?"

"Usually people would steer clear of me once I mention any of my family. Especially my father."

"Those actions are your father's" I pointed out "Not yours"

"So" I said laying down on the seats across her. "What do you want to talk about?"

~(O-O)~

"House?"

"Gryffindor. Definitely."

"Slytherin." Desiree said "I kind of figured that you were going to say that. The Potters were well known Gryffindors. The whole family practically came from that house."

"They said the same for the Malfoys." I said "Subject?"

"Divination." She said "No question."

"Transfiguration." I said "Or Ancient Runes."

"Alright. Sweets?"

"Chocolate." I said "Any kinds muggle or wizarding, though I do not like the idea of having to eat the Chocolate frog while it's moving."

"I heard of this muggle sweet." She said "I think they called it Marshallow?"

"Marshmallows" I corrected. "Yes, their great. Okay my turn. Siblings?"

"Weird Brother."

"Annoying twin."

"Really? What's he like?"

"He's protective at the same time very attached." I said "But he's my twin. Can't live with him. Can't live without him. What about yours?"

She just shrugged. "He dotes sometimes. But he mostly keeps to himself though. He just turns his head at most of the weird stuff I do. That is when my parents aren't around. When they are around, he's the one that warns me and tells me what to do."

"The hard parts of being high up in the pureblood circle." I stated. "Okay your turn"

"Uh… kids at the door."

"Red head girl and black haired boy?"

"Yep."

"The boy is scowling at us."

"I think he could be your future housemate."

"Girl's a Gryffindor." Desiree said "That's for sure. She radiates kindness and happiness. Probably worse than you."

"Hey I'm not that bad."

"You are."

"Not"

"Are."

"Uh. Hi. May we sit here?"

"Sure" I said sitting up. Both she and the boy sat on my seat.

"Hi, I'm Lily Evans." The redheaded girl said. "This is Severus Snape."

"Jadelyn Potter. And this is Desiree Malfoy."

"Potter?"

I groaned. "What did my idiot brother do now?"

"He's being a jerk."

"Well, yeah he's my brother. But he's not me." I said "He's nice once you get to know him…and if he gets over his head."

"Well it didn't seem like it" Severus said

"Hey at least you don't have to live with him" I said shrugging. "So are you excited?"

We spent the rest of the trip talking. The sun had set and I looked out the window then I saw it. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
